What did you expect? They were too late to get rooms at the Willard. The soldiers from the DCNG are already committed for traffic duty. These soldiers are probably from Maryland & NJ.
They could call in workers & open the House cafeteria for them, but it's more likely they are feeding them MRE's.

Well at least if the house gets overrun again, they make a very good tripping hazard.

just heard yesterday there is a group leaving from WV to go to DC, they are chemical warfare, and bomb specialists...... not sure who the group pictured is
Tell me they are not protesters..
no they are going as guardsmen, I could understand the bomb specialists, but the chemical warfare got me wondering.......
It's all about the...optics...

Sam, are you saying you didn't have the guys over for slumber parties when you were a Ranger???
They’re too late. Someone already stole Pelosi’s bar stool, I mean lecturn.
Will those guys get combat pay? A badge? A ribbon?
What ever the optics of that particular photo and that particular place I admire and respect anyone doing their duty as they defend our nation. I have seen similar pictures of troops during WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, the wars in Iraq and untold other "conflicts" where our beloved American Service men are serving.
Should they all be out shooting and ordering air strikes??
Many MILLIONS of those that served you and me died doing it.
Many MILLIONS were wounded.
All served, HONORABLY as ORDERED by their commanding Officers.
Shame on anyone that disparages our troops, yesterday or in the future, no matter the optics of the moment.
I wasn’t disparaging US service men and women. However, I reserve the right to if they come knocking on MY door.
For those who haven't worn the uniform, let alone pulled guard duty, a third of your duty detail will be out walking their post while the rest are in their racks catching ZZZZZs, watching TV or reading a book.
